Η Mazda δεν έχει σκοπό να αφήσει μία έκθεση με την δημοτικότητα της SEMA να περάσει χωρίς κάποιου είδους “εκμετάλλευση” και γι’ αυτόν ακριβώς τον λόγο, ανακοίνωσε ότι θα παρουσιάσει εκεί δύο πρωτότυπα που βασίζονται στο ολοκαίνουριο MX-5: ο λόγος για το MX-5 Spyder concept και το MX-5 Speedster concept. Το Spyder concept που βλέπεις στο πάνω μισό της φωτογραφίας, θα παρουσιαστεί σε ένα νέο χρώμα με όνομα Mercury Silver και σύμφωνα με την εταιρία, θα έχει την εμφάνιση ενός “vintage roadster”. Δυστυχώς, η υφασμάτινη οροφή είναι ανεβασμένη και κρύβει το εσωτερικό με τις “bespoke” δερμάτινες πινελιές. Το Speedster concept από την άλλη –κάτω μισό της φωτογραφίας- θα είναι σπαρτιατικό. Τόσο σπαρτιατικό που μέχρι και το παρμπρίζ έδωσε τη θέση του σε ένα μικρότερο και πολύ ελαφρύτερο… “παρμπρίζ” – τρόπος του λέγειν. Η Mazda λέει ότι και τα δύο πρωτότυπα είναι “σημαντικά ελαφρύτερα από το MX-5”, λες και το standard μοντέλο έχει ανάγκη την δίαιτα. Δεν αποκάλυψε περισσότερες πληροφορίες αλλά δήλωσε ότι για την δημιουργία των δύο αυτοκινήτων συνεργάστηκε με εταιρίες όπως η Rays Wheels, η KW Suspensions, η American Sunroof Corporation, η Racing Beat κ.ά.
Μιας που είμαστε στο θέμα της SEMA, η Ford ανακοίνωσε ότι εκτός από όλα τα υπόλοιπα, θα παρουσιάσει και κάποια βελτιωμένα Fiesta ST και Focus ST. Επιγραμματικά, να αναφέρουμε ότι θα παρουσιάσει ένα πορτοκαλί Focus ST με βελτιώσεις της CJ Pony Parts, ένα “μελλοντικό rally-car” από την Rally Innovations, ένα βελτιωμένο από την Cobb Tuning, ένα “ισορροπημένο” Focus ST της FSWerks, ένα slammed Fiesta ST από την Cinemotive Media και ένα “track-ready” Fiesta ST από την DSPort με περισσότερα από 400 άλογα. Περισσότερα για τα μοντέλα της Ford μπορείς να διαβάσεις στο δελτίο τύπου που ακολουθεί.

Fiesta ST/Focus ST Even the Desert Sun Can’t Make These #FordSEMA STs Any Hotter
As Ford’s ST brand of performance cars continues to grow in North America, it makes perfect sense for Ford Performance’s pair of hot hatches to garner attention from custom builders. The Focus ST and Fiesta ST SEMA-bound vehicles show the variety of ways these performance models can be modified to meet and exceed an owner’s expectations. Track capability both on and off-road is easily proven as well as the desire to just have street cred and style.
Ford continues its unrivaled support of the SEMA show this year with the largest OEM stand and over 50 vehicles on display. A step beyond display vehicles, Ford Out Front also offers attendees a unique experience of watching or riding in one of our performance car or trucks on a closed course.

Ready to Get Dirty: The Sexy, Race Themed Ford Focus ST by Rally Innovations is your Perfect Companion
Rally Innovations has morphed the Focus ST into “The Future of Rally.” The bold look is highlighted by their Gundam-style body kit, liberal use of red accents, and aggressive 19″ matte graphite wheels.

This is no poser; the powertrain features a COBB tune, Greddy intake and exhaust as well as an aluminum intercooler with piping. Custom lighting for rally use is setup throughout the vehicle and the coilover suspension makes the Rally Innovations Focus ST ready to take on the most aggressive of dirt courses.

At the End of the Rainbow is Where You Will Find the ST Pot of Gold
Looking for the best balance of handling and power, FSWERKS has created this well-refined Focus ST. Keeping the exterior clean was a priority; the only changes you will see here are sideskirts, a front splitter and a more aggressive wheel/tire combination. Their focus was on the heart of the ST, giving it more power through better breathing and a short throw shift kit for quicker, more precise throws. To keep the ST a well-rounded overall performance vehicle, they also upgraded the brakes, added a lower front stress bar and anti-sway bar with a coilover suspension to keep everything buttoned up when taking on curvy roads or a track.

Putting the ST in Fast: Orange is the New Black
DSPORT jumped into their project car with the idea of “Exploring the 1.6-liter EcoBoost limits with a track-ready Fiesta ST.” With plentiful modifications for the powertrain and chassis, this Fiesta ST has become a highly capable track machine, so capable its 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine could produce north of 400 horsepower at high boost levels.
